Intergenerational mental health
This course is designed for professionals who work with children, and those who work with adults who are parents. It supports you to apply three elements of an ‘intergenerational lens’ to your work, to positively influence the parent–child relationship and children’s mental health. The course describes how an intergenerational lens can be used in practice to better understand the history of family challenges or disadvantages, as well as the history of family strengths, resilience and know-how.

NESA Accredited: Children in their community: place-based pedagogy
In this workshop we examine children’s identity, of belonging to place, enacting citizenship rights and responsibilities. Place-based pedagogy creates opportunities to become deeply immersed in experiencing the world around us. Learning in these moments is both organic and visceral as there is much to learn from the places we inhabit. In ‘place’ we learn about ourselves, our capacities, and responsibilities.

Words that work: A Core Story of Early Childhood
When it comes to early childhood development and learning, what we say and how we say it matters. The choices we make when we communicate have a huge impact on how people think, feel and behave. By thinking carefully about how we frame our communications, we can help drive change and improve outcomes for children. This course will help you communicate about early childhood in even more powerful ways. It unpacks insights from rigorous research, showing how you can put them into practice, in ways that work for you.
